Saturn

[Guest guest]

Chris and all,

 

Think about this for a moment. Uranus and Saturn supposedly co-rule a

sign of the zodiac. Shouldn't they share something in common? Is

Saturn really structured? Saturn rules old age when everything starts

to fall apart. Saturn is said to rule ancient artifacts which are

generally in a decayed condition.

 

Saturn is said to rule the working class, who have far less structure

in their lives than professionals who have to tow some kind of party

line. Edgar Cayce said that Saturn brings the desire to constantly

rub put the past and begin anew. What happens during a Saturn

transit? Usually an unexpected and unwelcome *change.*

 

Some Gauquelin keywords for Saturn are: anxious, austere, hesitant,

melancholy, reclusive, reserved... " Not much there about structure. A

few Gauquelin keywords for Jupiter might suggest structure: pompous,

powerful, authoritative, dominating... "

 

I believe the supposed connection of Saturn with structure came from

the observed characteristics of tropical Capricorn. Change these

traits to sidereal Sagittarius, and we find Jupiter in residence.

 

Yes, I believe we have a major mix-up here. But for an answer we look

to the charts of someone like Billy Graham, and those people who

absolutely hate structure. A wonderful astrological friend of mine

has Saturn on the ascendant in Gemini. Jupiter is in the third house

in Leo, making no major aspects to planets in her chart. I cannot

think of anyone more democratic in her attitude nor anyone less

structured in her daily routine and beliefs. She's a poet and

astrologer. (Moon in Taurus in the 12th trine Sun-Mercury in 4th.)

 

Saturn is said to rule science, but what do scientists do? They

constantly explore and experiment and study and test. It's the

politicians (Jupiter) who tend to sit in one place as they expouse

their party's politics.

 

Any professional field becomes 'Jupiterian' after awhile as certain

belief systems and standards take over. Then it's time for Saturnian

disintegration, perhaps with a hard Uranian knock.
